Top Things People Would Do if They Win the Lottery

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you won the lottery? Of course you have! Who hasn’t? We’ve all been there; sitting at our desk at work and daydreaming about the endless possibilities of things we would buy and do if we became a millionaire overnight. If you haven’t thought about it before, you definitely should. You never know when you might hit a jackpot, so you should set a vision early on and set a plan for the lucky day!

We at LottoGopher.com varied quite a bit from the following list, but regardless of what we would do, here is a list of the most common things that people would do if they won the lottery.

1. Help Family and Friends

Most people said they would help family and friends if they win the lottery.

Business Insider reported that a 2012 poll conducted by the European Lottery Guild asked people what the first thing they’d do if they won the lottery was, and 47 percent said that they’d help out family and friends who were low on cash before doing anything else.

“The most interesting thing about this survey was the question itself, which actually asked about the ‘first thing’ the players would spend their money on, not the biggest,” said Elisabeth Moore, customer relations manager at ELG.

2. Start a Business

A large group of people stated they would start a business with lottery winnings.

Another recent survey concluded that a vast selection of contestants surveyed said they would buy the tools and supplies needed to start or continue their business. This in itself shows that many Americans would want to continue to work, even after making it rich by winning the lottery. Go, Americans!

3. Buy a Recreational Vehicle

Traveling the US doesn’t seem like a bad way to spend lottery winnings…

The same survey conducted showed that the third most desired item was a recreational vehicle. It kind of makes sense, as many respondents also said they wanted to travel the country to visit their friends and family. Throw a mobile WiFi or 4G device into the mix, and we’ll gladly tag along for the ride!

4. “I’m going to Disney World!”

Regardless of the cost, the smiles and joy that a Disney trip would bring is priceless.

The next most common answer for things people would do if they won the lottery? They would take their families to Disneyland or Disney World.

The priceless smiles, laughter and joy that this trip would bring makes this the top destination of people surveyed.

With millions of dollars, why wouldn’t you spend a few bucks on taking care of yourself?

A massage. A private chef. Chauffeur. The 5th most common thing that people would do if they won the lottery is to pamper themselves! Can you imagine enjoying a fine assortment of cheeses and a glass of wine while getting a massage? Or how about enjoying your favorite meal prepared by a world-class private chef?
